Sault Ste. Marie

Man arrested

Sault Police were on routine patrol Tuesday evening when a male was observed traveling in a vehicle approximately 200 feet from an apartment despite a court order prohibiting him from being within 1,320 feet from that residence.

A subsequent investigation resulted in the arrest of Michael A. Lavictor, 23, of the Sault for violation of a condition of bond.

He was lodged in the Chippewa County Jail.

Vehicles damaged

City police responded to a 1:40 p.m. Tuesday traffic accident on Court Street where a driver attempted to back out of a parking spot with his vision obstructed by another parked vehicle and struck a northbound vehicle in the process.

The involved parties all escaped without injury and damage was considered minor in the mishap.

There were no citations issued.

Spin out

Sault Police also report investigating a one-vehicle mishap shortly before 8 a.m. where a car spun off the roadway near the juncture of I-75 and W. Easterday, struck a curb, and broke the driver’s side rear tire off its axle.

Noting the vehicle was partially blocking traffic police radioed for a wrecker, only to find that Merle’s Towing was already en route.

The owner of the vehicle explained his daughter had lost control, striking the curb, and authorities closed the books on this matter after noting the road was wet and possibly slippery.
